As far as Witten goes, he will be fine the guy ruptured a spleen for gods sake. Regardless, he could retire right now and be a 1st ballot HOFer

There isn’t one cowboys fan who misses martellus Bennett. He could catch 20 td’s this year and we still won’t miss him. Giants fans will be glad it’s only a one year deal by the end of the season. Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane, and get used to the butterfingers.
—————

Haven’t seen it. Just sounded like sour grapes just like when Canty came here and you badmouthed him.

Then he gets with an all world defensive line and line coach and helps spearhead a Super Bowl winning defensive front.

“No question that Witten is a HOFer. But to all the Dallas trolls that mocked the Giants for signing Bennett to a one year deal, I’m guessing that 15 recs for 185 yards and 3 TDs is looking pretty good right now.”

No doubt, but then again, so is 24-17 on opening night. In NJ. The story on Bennett is not written after three games and I personally would rather have current Witten over “new” MartyB all day every day.
—————

Between you, Philly and Skins fans, I don’t know who’s worse when bragging about meaningless regular season games. As if beating the Giants is a portend for your future success.

If that were true, would the Skins not fallen off the cliff otherwise, and finished 5-11, or the Eagles fall flat in the playoffs every year that they beat the Giants in the regular season? What’s going to be your recourse when the Giants win Week 8?

Witten is declining, plain and simple. Bennett is better now because he has a BETTER QUARTERBACK.

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 19:12:36 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1314784#comment-2017481Thanks for letting us have Marty B. We got the better end of that deal. Witten is declining and Bennett isn’t even in his prime yet. Thanks again, Dallas.

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:50:21 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1314784#comment-2016746I’m a Witeen fan and the only thing I can figure is that the drops are related to the serious injury he suffered in preseason. I think he tried to come back too soon in game one and now I really believe that’s true.

The coach must play Phillips and Hanna more and reduce Witten’s play time just like they would for anyone else that is not getting it done. You owe it to the team.

The Giants do not rely on the TE for offense as much as Dallas does. NY’s TEs block first, catch second. If Bennett ends up with 20 TDs, that means NY won the NFC East”

Really? Well he’s caught three so far and the Giants are in second place and if not for a miracle 25 point 4th quarter against the Bucs would be tied for last with the Redskins.

You blew all your credibility right there. The Giants do not rely on the TE for offense as much as Dallas does. NY’s TEs block first, catch second. If Bennett ends up with 20 TDs, that means NY won the NFC East. As for the playing “like Jane”, hasn’t happened yet. Doesn’t mean that it won’t, but so far, “Tarzan” is showing up at the games.

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:42:53 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1314784#comment-2016353His best friend is the Quarter-Back, although in recent years he has become one of the slowest starting TEs in the league, he is Romo’s buddy. So his spot is safe. Martellus Bennett is better, but he can’t go on Golf trips or Mexico vacations with Romo.

The stats don’t lie.

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 12:59:31 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1314784#comment-2016214Part of the problem is the extra body protection he’s wearing right now that stiffens him up and limits his range. But even with that issue, there are a couple drops that were right in his hands and required no extension. Now the sack-fumble in question is partly Doug Free’s fault. Witten was in to “help” Free and instead Free let him take on Bennett unassisted. I don’t know ANY TEs that are going to block Bennett 1-on-1.

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 12:07:33 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1314784#comment-2016082I think the performance over the past two weeks must really be eating at him. He’s usually a stand-up guy, so not talking to the media was totally out of character. He’s been the most reliable player on the team over the past 7 seasons or so, but the penalties have become an issue since last season.
